cabinSpaceType

A space is an area of the deck that has to be kept clear of any object, e.g. the passageway from the aisle to an exit, a cross aisle or the assist space beside an exit. Spaces describe the cabin for its design and for evacuation analyses, e.g. before any component is installed.

Geometry

The space is the polygon through the points (<x>, <y>) on the floor of the deck, extruded upwards by <height>. The polygon is closed: its last point connects to the first, which is not repeated.

Passenger deck seen from above: (a) the whole deck inside the fuselage outline, with 13 rows of double seats on both sides of the aisle, galleys and lavatories at the ends, spaces leading from the aisle to the doors and the doors on the fuselage outline; (b) the forward part in detail, with the deck origin at the rear wall of the cockpit, the aisle 0.7 m wide at its first point and narrowing to the seat rows, and the space in front of the forward door with its corner points numbered 1 to 4

In the forward part of the example deck (b), the space in front of the forward door is the rectangle through the points 1 to 4, as wide as the door and reaching from the cabin wall to the aisle.

Rules

<x> and <y> have the same number of values, at least three.
The polygon does not intersect itself.

Example

The passageway to the forward door of the example deck, kept clear up to the height of the door:

<spaces>
    <space uID="mainDeck_doorL1Passage">
        <name>Passageway to the forward door</name>
        <x>1.195;2.005;2.005;1.195</x>
        <y>-1.39;-1.39;-0.35;-0.35</y>
        <height>1.85</height>
    </space>
    ...
</spaces>
